My daughter teaches in Nicaragua and someone found a beetle the size of a softball. Wondering what it is and the range. Also, she noted that it almost bit another’s finger off (probably an exageration).

Female Hercules Beetle
Dear RolloMartins,
This is a female Hercules Beetle, probably Dynastes hercules, the largest beetle in Central America. The male has impressive horns.
